Survivor is a multidirectional scrolling shooter written by Richard Carr for Atari 8-bit computers and published in 1982 by Synapse Software. A Commodore 64 port by Peter Adams was released in 1983.

The player controls a spaceship attacking a number of fortresses, attempting to destroy the fort's guns without being hit. There is optional cooperative play, which allows one user to control the motion of the spaceship while another controls its gun.
